Changing/Adding Oil
You should check the oil level of your generator according to the maintenance schedule
in figure 11. When the oil level is low you will need to add oil until the level is sufficient
to run the generator.
The oil capacity of your generator engine is 37 fluid ounces.
It is only necessary to &ain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with
water or dirt. In this case, you can drain the oil t}om the generator according to the
tbllowing steps:
1. Place a bucket underneath the generator to catch oil as it drains.
2. Using a hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug, which is located on the crankcase
underneath the oil filler/dipstick cap (see figure 13). Allow all the oil to &ain
from the generator.
3. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a hex wrench.
To add oil to the crankcase, tbllow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap t}Oln the engine.
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to the crankcase. We recommend
SAE 10W/30 motor oil for general use. When full, the oil level should come close
to the top of the oil fill opening (see figure 14).
